                                As part of the Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub (‘the Hub-), Geoscience Australia is undertaking the “Accelerating Development of Australia's Rare Earth Resources (ADARER)” project. The objective of the project is to accelerate the discovery, extraction and processing of rare earth element (REE) deposits, including clay-hosted REE deposits and heavy mineral sands. To support this, Geoscience Australia is seeking to develop mineralogical understanding at a national-scale through the analysis of two legacy Geoscience Australia sediment sample sets (National Geochemical Survey of Australia; NGSA, and Northern Australia Geochemical Survey; NAGS) for quantitative mineral identification, including clay speciation. Up to approximately 2, 500 sediment samples. All samples will require preparation (detailed below) for x-Ray Diffractometer (xRD) analysis, and will be provided as dry, bulk sediment samples in 1 kg plastic tubs (with individual samples between 500 g to 5 kg each). Deliverables The Supplier will carry out sample preparation and xRD analysis of up to approximately 2, 500 sediment samples. Two options are presented, which are based on the scope of works, these being sample preparation (Option 1) and xRD analysis (Option 2). Suppliers are invited to bid for either or both of these options. Essential services will include : · Option 1 : Sample preparation of material suitable for xRD analysis : o Homogenisation of individual samples, ri...
